IvX started out on a strong note but took a fairly steep dive in issues #3 and 4. That had as much to do with the change in artist as the progressively more sluggish pace. Issue #5 addresses the latter complaint, at least. The conflict between mutants and Inhumans is heating up again as Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire gear up for their grand finale.
The plot basically stalled out in the previous two chapters, with the X-Men sweeping the major Inhumans off the board and then stalling in their attempts to destroy the last remaining Terrigen cloud. Finally, things seem to be clicking back into place as the Inhumans launch their counterattack and the X-Men are suddenly on the defensive. This issue includes several terrific confrontations, including Havok staring down Medusa and Fantomex trading blows with Karnak inside the surreal landscape of The World. But easily the best showdown involves the brutal clash between Colossus and Gorgon. Too many writers seem to forget that Colossus can be funny, preferring to paint him as an eternally morose mutant who loves to wallow in his own suffering. Hopefully this issue will inspire Colossus' characterization in X-Men Gold.
